Coach Walter Johnson, arriving last week from his home in Milwau kee, Wis., immediately took charge of the Blue Stocking football factory and now has it running at top speed with both morning and afternoon periods of practice as the order of the day.

Itl4, Western Newepaper Union.) Lesson for September 14 Of the total number of prospective j ES us DRIVEN FROM NAZARETH candidates that have reported only To The Public Effective Monday, the following prices prevail in our market: five men of previous years can be ac counted for. The team suffers heavy losses, nine of the old men will be missing due to graduation and other causes. Miller, who captained the 1923 team and played center position, Ricker, Norton and Mason have been graduated and leave yawning gaps in the line. Pearce and Hindman of the famous pony backfield of 1922, received their sheepskins at the an nual celebration last June. Camp bell, the Texas guard, and Edwards, another guard, failed to report and thus created two new problems for Johnson to solve. —— P. H. Bomar of Arkansas will cap tain the 1924 grklironers and play tackle unless some unforseen circum stances interferes. Martin, Rucker, Bailey, Workman, Ferguson and Banks will be the old men that will vie with the newcomers for position in the line. Hunter, Copeland and Wilson, quarters; R. Walker, E. Wal ker and Robinson will be the old back- field material that will be called upon to show their wares. Thirteen men came up from the freshman eleven to take their place beside their older brothers and it is a fact that Coach Johnson is counting upon McMillian’s protegees to do their “stufr' for him. Of the num ber, Henry, Gregg, Griffith and Cope land deserve special mention for their work on last year's freshman team. These men will push some for a place on the team and there’s always that chance of some new stars being brought forth to light during the sea son’s play and with this thought in mind, Johnson i« plugging away to LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:l«-30. GOLDEN TEXT—"He hath anoinUd m« to preach the gospel.’'—Luke 4:18.” PRIMARY TOPIC—Jegug Vlslti HlS Home Town. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Face* a Mob. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Jesus Explains His Message. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Mission of Christianity. I. Jesus In the Synagogue (v. 10). On the Sabbath day He went Into the synagogue according to His cus tom. He no doubt went that day with u new and definite purpose, but It la refreshing to know that it was accord- Ing to Hla habit. II. Jesus Reading the Scriptures (vv. 17-19). 1. The Book Handed to Him (v. 17). U was not only Hls> custom to attend the place of worship but to take a part in it. Tills privilege was not confined to the rabbis (Acts 13:15). 2. The Passage Read (Isaiah 61:1, 2). Most likely tills passage was chos en by Him with a specific purpose. 3. The Content of the Passage (vv. 18. 19). (1) The mission of the Messiah (v. 18). It was: (a) To preach the gospel to tha poor. ...The good tidings which Jesus proclaimed are peculiarly welcome to the common people. ^ (b) To heal the broken-hearted. The gospel of Christ peculiarly meets the needs of those whose hearts are crushed by the weight of their own sins or by the burden of sorrow aod disappointment. (c) To preach deliverance to the captives. The gospel of Christ does put a fighting team on the field. I ^tunMy set man free from the Slav- Just at the present time the outlook < * ry sin ^° bn 8:S0 )- is gloomy, to say the least. The team ' Recovering of sight to the that the Presbyterian College mentor) Christ did actually make tfiose will put on the field is the. lightest that he has coached in years. The backfield will average about 135, while the line will pull an average of 158 otr 160 if the weigher stretches a point or so. The end proposition is one that will bring several gray hairs to Johnson’s head because practically all the material for the wing position would qualify as light weight. And it looks that contrary to most of Johnson’s teams, the eleven that he will put on the battlefield this fall will carry none of the speed that the combinations heretofore have possess ed. Both morning and afternoon ses sions are in order oh the P. C. grid iron and Johnson is determined that he is going to put a team on the field that will fight to the last ditch and display intelligent football. Hard work and grim determination are the keynote of the pre-season practice. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.

The power of Christ can free tlie most utterly hopeless ones. (f) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The primary allusion la the year of Jubilee (Lev. 25:8-10) In which all those In bondage were re leased. • (2) The special endowment of the Messiah (v. 144). The reason why the Spirit was upon Him was that Ha might fulllll specifically His Messianic work. It was not for the display df power. The enduement of the Holy Spirit Is not for mere power’s sake. III. Jesus Expounding tha Scriptures (vv 20, 21). 1. He Closed the Book and Sat Down. ].t seems to have been the cus tom of the Jewish teachers to sit while teaching. 2. ‘•This Day Is This Scripture Ful filled.” This statement Is no doubt hut a gist of what He said IV. Jesus' Reception by the People (rr. 22-30). Their reception was chamcterixed vr- 1. Ignorant Prejudice (v. 22). “Is not this Joseph’s son?” As If to say, •■'This Is our fellow townsman with whom we have been acquainted for years. Surely, therefore. He r, arino{ he the Messiah.” 2. Unbelief as to Ills Supernatural Character (v. 23). They challenged Him to exhibit examples of divine power as He had done In other places. 3. Personal Jealousy (v. 24). Jeal ousy prevents us from seeing the es sential worth of the men In our midst Foreigners are more appreciative. A prophet Is not accepted at home, pri marily because he Is a prophet. Prophets were sent In times of moral :ind spiritual declination and their mes- lages were stern rebukes of sin.

(2) Nuuninn, the foreigner, of many lepers was the only one cleansed. 4. Violent Hatred (vv. 28-30). This comparison of the Jews to foreigners ■o stunned their pride that they inadlvj drove Him out of their city, even tried to k’M liim. He showed them that Just as L ijah bad brought blessing t- one who lived In Kidon and KIMiu to one. In Syria, while the people of Israel went on suffering, even so the Gentiles would receive the blessings of His saving power while they, the chosen notion, would suffer In unbe lief.

To Enlarge Telephone » Service fjTHE enormous amount of new jJl telephone construction under way in North and South Caro lina has made necessary a programme of activity rarely before equalled in the telephone industry. Dunn* the first six months of this year additional equipment, apparatus, cable and telephones have been in stalled at a cost of anproyimafply $879,029. There remains to be completed dur ing the balance of this year similar new construction costing approxi mately $942,971. ' The new facilities provided in this manner enabled the telephone work ers to install 9,760 new telephones during the six month period, resulting in a net gain of 4,134 stations. ^ At the beginning of the year it was estimated that there would be 8,296 installations and a net gain of 3,434 stations during the first six months. The telephone programme is therefore much ahead of the schedule. New construction work costing $942,971 is row under way or will be started during the balance of this year. MORGAN B.
